Adult's SW - Initial Contact Team - Bromley
An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Adult Social Worker to join an Initial Contact Team in Bromley. You will be the first point of contact for adults, families, carers and professionals seeking support, providing timely, proportionate and strengths-based responses. The role involves gathering and analysing information, identifying presenting needs, assessing risk and determining the most appropriate next steps, including advice, information, signposting, referrals or statutory assessment.
You will manage a varied caseload involving adults with complex needs, including older people, physical disabilities, mental health needs, learning disabilities, safeguarding concerns and individuals requiring support to maintain their independence. Duties will include completing Care Act assessments, undertaking safeguarding enquiries, developing outcome-focused support plans, arranging interim services where required and reviewing the effectiveness of interventions. You will work closely with health professionals, providers, carers and other agencies, ensuring that decisions are person-centred, legally compliant and focused on positive outcomes. Accurate, timely recording and effective communication will be essential, as will the ability to manage competing priorities in a busy contact environment.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have experience of working with adults in a statutory or community social care setting, with a sound understanding of the Care Act, safeguarding procedures, mental capacity principles and relevant social care legislation. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong assessment, decision-making and report-writing skills, together with confidence in handling sensitive conversations and responding to risk. A commitment to equality, inclusion, professional development and strengths-based practice is essential. The ability to work collaboratively while also making sound independent judgments is required. A satisfactory enhanced DBS check and suitable references will be required before appointment.
